The Dallas Cowboys made a draft-day trade with their hated division rivals. No, this isn’t about the move back in the 2021 first round when they ended up with Micah Parsons. A year earlier Stephen Jones worked with the Philadelphia Eagles to move up in the 2020 draft to select Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz.
Biadasz is a former Rimington trophy winner, an award given to the best center in all of college football. Before he had to battle through injuries in the 2019 season, Biadasz was seen as an early Day 2 pick, and he was also thought of as a clone of former Cowboys center Travis Frederick.
Biadasz had a handful of starts as a rookie while Joe Looney was hurt, but in those games he showed enough for Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore, and Joe Philbin to want to stick with the sophomore as the starting center going into 2021 training camp. Looney is now off the table, signed with the New York Giants, and then retiring days later. Biadasz has been given the keys to a starting job in the league and now he has to do what he has to in order to keep his spot.
The 2021 Dallas Cowboys player profiles continues with promising young starting center, No. 63 Tyler Biadasz.
